the question for you this morning, are you prepared if the nation goes off the fiscal cliff? it's the ultimate game of chicken. who will blink first on the fiscal cliff? not the obama administration as timothy geithner told cnbc, bring it on. >> is the administration prepared to go over the fiscal cliff? >> absolutely. again, there's no prospect to an agreement that doesn't involve those rates going up on the top 2% of the wealthiest. >> taxpayers might think that's easy for geithner to say. what about all those middle class families whose tax will go up more than $2,000 if, as geithner suggests, we take a dive off that cliff? even though president obama and john boehner chatted on the phone, there's still no deal. republicans are not amused. >> incredibly, many top democrats, including the president, seem perfectly happy. perfectly happy to go off the cliff. that's why the president has been more interested in campaign rallies than actually negotiating a deal. >> many americans don't have much hope the two side also come up with a deal. they've moved on already to plan b. th

we're seeing signs of movement, was this morning we're still facing a costly fall off that fiscal cliff. if there is no deal in 26 days, we're facing devastating tax hikes and spending cuts and a possible relapse into recession. the president and house speaker john boehner broke the ice yesterday. they did speak by telephone. the two sides keeping details of their discussion under wraps. and still standing firm on tax hikes for the top 2%. >> the revenues we're putting on the table are going to come from, guess who? the rich. >> once republicans acknowledge that rates are going up for top earners, we believe that an agreement is very achievable. >> kate balduan is live from washington. kate, do we have anymore details on that phone call? >> i mean, i think we can take from it the fact that there's been so little negotiating going on and so little movement. it's significant of itself that these two top negotiators have even spoken on the phone. this is the first time they've spoken on the phone, or as far as we know, spoken at all, in a week. but there are no real indications of a readou
